Tf), ALL WHOM I-T MAY OONOERN:

i Be it known that I, GILBERT D.`JONE s, o itne city, conn'tyend State ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvemente in Presses; end'I do 'hereby declare that the following, taken inconneotion with the drawings, is a. full, cleor, and exact description thereof.' In thejdrewings Figure 1 is a. front elevation of" the press. VFigure 2 is on end elevetionthereofyond A Fignre 3 ie a, longitudinal verticol section throughv the prees.. l These improvements ore chiefly opplicebleto hoy-presses, but are ueofnl in other species of preesee, and are shon'n in the drawings as applied too press with two followers moving toirordseecl other; but someot my lirnprovemtmts may be used in presses with e stationary' platform., These'improvements consist, first, in s certain combination of .toggles with the movingjew, follower, or-plsten of 'e pressruseconl, in the combination with euch toggles of cogged sectors for operating them unison and third, inthe combination with cogged sectors and toggles of e-sorew i'or operating e. 'setof toggles; and lastly, iti the combination of two sets of toggles with right and left-hond screws mounted npon the seme shaft. whereby ell the tog'gles are operated simultaneously .without and Play of the 'Shaftsl l i 4 In the drawings, the framing of the press is represente@ nto a o, the enclosure for the hay, ootton, flics, :tt the door for discharging thecompressed hole et c, andfdoors for the` insertion of metter tohe compressori et ,ai al, the latter being held plsce, when shut, 'o latch, Thetwo i'ollovfrs of the press are representetl ot ff, end to euch. follower ere fastened, by proper pivots, the ende of the srmsof three toggle; g zagj'r. One of these pivots is at the middle of the upper, edge ot each follower, ornearlyso; 'the other pivotsre otfopposite extremities of the lower edge of each `t`ollower, or neorlyp. The three pirots oceupy the angles of an isoseeles triengle, 'whose base is neer to and poralleLwith-thelower Aegeoii' each follower, and thegiat of this arrangement of pivots is, that they occupy the ongles' of en isoeceles or eqniloterl'triongle, or 'nearly so, thus forcing the follow/er to lnove .pnrellel to itself, ornent-ly' so, `when the toggl'es are moved simultaneously at the same 'relocitgg thus rendering guides-'for the follower almost unnocessnry, and obviatig the greet friction usually generated by the follower moving on' the gnilles, when the resistance to michA follower is es, it nsneliy is,

nnevenly distrihirtedover its eurfooe. To eeoh of-the-three er1-ns are pivotedother arms, k l mile vfor", which are also pivoted to snmeatationery pert ofthe framework. 'Verioue mechonial contrivsnees may be opple t9 conse each set of toggles 4,to move simnlteneonsly, but Iprefer to ineke nch ofthe arms furthest from the follower carry mcksor ooggel sectors o p g r. Theses-cotone me allot' the-Esme diameter, and are located one on- Ieezlgh/sitle o f the' central orme l l', andthe otherson the' sides oi the mmol/:JAM m', adjacent to 1the central mons l l.' The arrangement of 'these raclrs is clearly shown in the drowings,aleo their gearing together, and it is obvionethot they so oonnect eeoh three toggleshinxeoch set; that they must move simultaneously nn at the seine velocity, 'or in unison, when any one of the three is caused to move. I prefer to apply the power to the centre toggle of each set through some appropriate mechenical device, but the best tray of spplyingit is by menos of cogge sectors e @,-which sro attached to or ineke part of the 'outer erin ot' the centre* toggle of ene'h set, und I cause screws tt to gear intotfnem, so that hy tlie revolution ofthe sorew-shaft'the toggles of each set ore operotell. When two followers eflriltwo setsof toggeame employeas -in thefom in which my invention. iii-,represented in thetlrewingsziritend. to n'mkeone screiv ai rghtfhendnnd the 4other.silef'bhoml4 one, endto mount them upon the semeffslinlft'; n revolution o tv the shaft vwill than @onse the two followers to move st the some time in oppoeite directions, and there will be no strain upon-the slieit'to mow: itondwisew When e giressfis ede Withfa sto* lexgsry hed mrd hut'one niovingfollowetheu hint one set of toggles'is to he employed, but the toggles of this Feet must he arranged reltvely to each other, und he pivoted to the followersubetentiolly et thepoints or .in the relation to'eocll'other of the pivots' set forth.- I intend to apply the right smi left-hemleorows, :ind vthe toeters -nfith which they gear, in combination with sets of togglee littering in their. Errangemont from those dcsfribe, thus ming one port of my invention seporoto from the othors.

I eloim os lof r'ny Vo'em inventioni 1. 'In comhirtetion'` viththe follower ot' sfpress, three tog'glas srrangecl relatively to eagh other and pjvete to the follower in he relation eo oooh other snbs'tantiolly ma nos forth the combination being otbltonfsiolly on described, and operating snxemntioliy as ne?. forth..

2. In combination with three toggles I claim cogged sectors attached and gearing together ambatantioliy as described, whereby the tllr'ee toggles may be made togmove in unison as ooo forth.

3. In combination with three toggles and-their cogged sectors I daim s sector in geur with a screw, ize combination being substantially os described and'operating enbatantially as set forth.
